1278404 2012-05-31 04:27:00 IIRC, it all happened automagically when I installed it alongside Windows 7 and Vista.
did you install a .exe file, or did you run it from a usb stick?

1278405 2012-05-31 04:41:00 did you install a .exe file, or did you run it from a usb stick?I downloaded an iso, burned it to a DVD and booted from that for the install. Although I have to say again, it was a while ago, so I might be wrong - I can't remember what happened a week ago these days :). It definitely was not from a USB stick, though. Tony (4941)

Should be the same. I'm just downloading it to a USB, not to my pc then to a dvd. I'll see how it goes.

1278410 2012-05-31 05:27:00 Ok, Maybe I won't see how it goes. Download keeps failing. Has anyone else had this problem? Nick G (16709)

Yep failed for me about four times, had to install a download manager in the ned to get it to come through.

It is also on cover disk of PC User mag this month - 32 and 64 bit.

1278413 2012-05-31 21:51:00 finally got it to download - used firefox instead of opera. Instead of taking half a day and then failing, it downloaded in less than 3 minutes first time. Nick G (16709)
